Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pump shaft seals, and particularly to a shaft seal assembly for a wastewater treatment pump. Background Technique
[0002] In traditional pump shaft seal technologies, common ones include packing seals and mechanical seals. A packing seal realizes sealing by filling a soft material, such as asbestos rope, graphite, etc., between the shaft and the stuffing box. However, this sealing method has many deficiencies. The friction between the packing and the shaft is relatively large, which easily causes wear of the shaft and increases energy consumption; moreover, for wastewater containing particles, the packing is easily worn, and the sealing effect will rapidly decline. A mechanical seal realizes sealing through the tight fit of a dynamic ring and a static ring to prevent fluid leakage in rotating machinery. But in a wastewater treatment environment, mechanical seals also face some problems. On the one hand, the vibration during use will cause the pressure distribution on the sealing surface between the dynamic ring and the static ring to lose balance. Sometimes the local pressure is too high, resulting in excessive wear, and sometimes the local pressure is too low to effectively prevent leakage. Long-term vibration may also cause displacement or misalignment of various components in the seal assembly, such as springs, dynamic rings, static rings, etc. The spring may deviate from its initial installation position, and the dynamic ring and the static ring may no longer be accurately aligned, which seriously damages the integrity of the sealing structure, thereby leading to seal failure and affecting the normal operation of the pump and the wastewater treatment effect. Due to the corrosiveness of the wastewater, the materials of the seal assembly are easily eroded, shortening the service life, and the components need to be frequently replaced. Traditional shaft seal assemblies often do not fully consider the convenience of installation and maintenance. When replacing the seal assembly, a large number of components may need to be disassembled, consuming a large amount of time and manpower. To address these problems, in recent years, researchers have continuously explored new shaft seal assembly technologies. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a shaft seal assembly for a wastewater treatment pump, which achieves a good anti-vibration effect through a spring installed bidirectionally, thereby preventing displacement or misalignment, and uses a sealing outer shell cover and a flange of the sealing outer shell to be threadedly connected through an extended bolt, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the assembly. When maintenance or component replacement is required, the operation is relatively simple, saving time and labor costs.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: A shaft seal assembly for a wastewater treatment water pump, comprising a shaft (1), a seal housing (8), a seal housing cover (2), a dynamic ring (4), a plurality of springs, and a plurality of sealing rings, characterized in that: it further comprises a pressure ring (5), an extension bolt (7), a spring upper cover (31), and a spring lower cover (33); the seal housing (8) is a cylindrical body, and a first spring (6) is fixedly installed at the inner bottom end thereof.
